chapter five: Stupid Ino-pig!
--
"Are you going to walk around barefoot now?" Sasuke sighed as he walked with Naruto towards his house
"Yeah it feels nice! I don't like shoes or sandals too much..............being barefoot rocks!" Naruto cheered on as they walked.
"Well you might want to roll those pants up more." Sasuke looked down at the bottom of Naruto's pants, they were slowly getting covered with mud.
"Ma..........whatever." Naruto stopped as they heard some commotion ahead of them....................in Sasuke's now lot.
"What the?" Sasuke walked up to notice most of the shinobi walking around in his yard talking as some of them cooked some barbecue for lunch.
"What do you think happened here?" One of the ninja's picked up a wooden block.
"Some people say it was a foreign assassin but we don't have any proof." Another man said from across the yard.
"What are you detectives? Shikamaru said there was a party here last night and two people started to spar in the house causing it to fall." Asuma sighed spitting his cigarette onto the floor.
"So tiresome." Shikamaru rolled his eyes as he helped people separate the usable and not usable wood. He told everyone earlier but it seemed like people just ignored him sometimes................so tiresome.
"Has he seen this yet?" Kurenai looked over to see Sasuke standing with someone across the street. "Never mind."
Everyone looked up to see Sasuke standing with a glare on his face as he looked at his destroyed house...............he had lived there since he was born.
"Sasuke-san! Where have you been?" One of the older women jonins yelled over at the boy.
"Hey who is that?" Asuma lit up a new cigarette as he stared over at the blonde boy. "He looks a lot like................"
"Naruto! We have been searching for you!" Kiba, Ino, and Hinata ran up to the blonde who smiled at them.
"See Akamaru you were wrong! He can see us!" Kiba glared over at his dog companion who growled back at him. Not noticing the shorter blonde tense up.
"What happened last night?" Ino glared over at the blond boy who just smiled nervously.
"Na-naruto-kun how are you feeling?" Naruto watched the small white form begin to twiddle its fingers.
"I am just fine Hinata, how about yourself?" Naruto asked back causing the Hyuga girl to turn a shade of deep crimson.
"Hey answer my questions will ya?" Ino glowered as the tan boy who sighed.
"Oh my goodness! What happened?" Everyone turned to see Lee standing there in awe of the mess.
"You are not serious." Sasuke, Ino, and Shikamaru spat out at the same time.
"Lee forgot everything." Sakura walked up with a tired expression on her face.
"Baka." Neji glared over at Lee and then continued to help, he had been there since this morning helping.
"And now Neji is glaring at me. Why cant I remember last night? It is so fuzzy!" Lee shook his head before glaring up at Kiba. "You did this to me! I know it!"
"Um......actually it was them." Kiba pointed to a large square shaped bush.
"Ack! I knew we should have worked harder on this disguise!" Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon jumped out from under the bush.
"Told you this wouldn't work!" Moegi began to hit Konohamaru on the head.
"You three genins!" Lee ran over to them causing them to stop and stare at him.
"He really does look like Gai." They all stared at Lee's face.
"Hey what is this?" Sasuke tried to ignore the now four bickering ninjas as he looked up.
Genma was holding up several thick strangely decorated robes. They had a steak going through all of them.
"Crap." Sasuke shook his head and looked over at Naruto. "I hope you didn't like those robes too much cause there is now a large piece of wood going through them."
"Those are mine sorry!" Naruto sighed as he faced Sasuke. "Oh well, I guess I could visit that town again some time and see if they can fix those."
"Naruto are you going to explain what is wrong with you or not? There is something different and I want to know." Ino scowled as Sasuke glared at her. Stupid loud girl.
"Ino you are so bothersome." Shikamaru sighed as he pulled his girlfriend's arm to take her away from the nervously laughing blonde.
"Fine if he wont tell me." Ino quickly did a few hand seals as her body went limp.
"Ino!" Shikamaru shook her body.
"Hm?................now to open his eyes............."
Sasuke looked over at Naruto who had taken his sunglasses off and opened his eyes to look at everyone. He was standing with his hands on his hips like................a girl?
"Naruto?" Sasuke watched as the blonde's expression became horrified.
"Oh my gawd! Naruto is blind!" Naruto jumped up tripping over a piece of wood as everyone looked at him in shock.
"Naruto-bro?" Konohamaru and Lee looked up to see the blond boy try to get up.
"What is with all of the colors? I cant see anything!" Naruto moved his hands in front of him.
"Ino return to your body now!" Shikamaru yelled causing everyone to jump. Shikamaru never yelled, and even more so never at Ino.
"I can't see where my body is!" Naruto screamed before Choji lifted the blonde up and faced him toward her boy in Shikamaru's arms.
"Okay Ino......" Choji sighed as Naruto did a few hand seals.
"Thanks Choji!" The boy yelled before he shook his head.
"What the?" Naruto closed his eyes and tried to find his sunglasses.
"Ino don't you ever do that again!" Shikamaru scolded the long-haired girl. "That was beyond horrible!"
"Na-naruto's blind?" Hinata stammered as she joined everyone else in watching the blonde boy put his sunglasses back on.
"Naruto-niisan? Blind?" Moegi turned around and looked at a confused Konohamaru and Udon. "But-but............"
"Uh..............surprise?" Naruto rubbed the back of his head as everyone stared at him in shock.
"Naruto?" Kiba looked over at his friend.
"When did that happen?" Neji finally asked what had been on his mind since the party.
Everyone began to ask questions as they all walked up to Naruto causing him to back up until he was surrounded.
Naruto leaned against the tree behind him sending chakra to cover it as he looked at all of the branched and vanished quickly appearing above the crowd and on the largest yet lowest branch.
Sasuke appeared beside the tree and leaned up against it as Jiraiya appeared also and smirked up at Naruto.
"Fine mess brat, you should just be honest with everyone." Jiraiya sighed leaning on the other side of the tree as everyone kept asking questions.
"Be honest huh? I will be honest about everything the day you confess your love to........." Jiraiya's hand quickly covered Naruto's smiling mouth as everyone looked at each other confused.
"But if you are blind how could you talk to everyone knowing who they are?" Kiba scratched his head trying to think of a way Naruto could do that.
"Um.........long story and sometimes Sasuke helped." Naruto grinned trying to cover the fact that the colors seemed to start growing in his vision.
"When did it happen Naruto? Was it while you were gone?" Choji asked as he took out a bag of chips.
"It happened right before I left." Naruto tightened his grip on the tree branch. The colors weren't mixing yet but they were growing and too close together.
"EVERYONE CALM DOWN DANG IT!" Everyone turned to see Tsunade standing on top of what was left of the pile of wood with Iruka right beside her panting like crazy.
"Hokage-sama!" Everyone did a small bow toward their leader before looking back up at Naruto.
"Well I am glad to find most of you here at the same time, it will save me trouble." Tsunade smirked when she noticed everyone looked at her confused.
Jiraiya looked over to the shaking blonde. "Naruto........." He whispered until he noticed the blonde's grip tightened on the bark cracking it.
"All of you are to keep this a secret among yourselves and never speak on it while you are around villagers they might..........." Tsunade looked around, there were still many people who didn't know about the Kyuubi; the villagers might take advantage of this weakness in Naruto and attack when he is alone. "use it to their advantage."
Tsunade sighed as most of the younger ninjas gave her a confused look when all of the ones that knew, nodded.
"Jiraiya are you still here?" Naruto whispered as the colors seemed to start moving slowly.
"Hai." Jiraiya flared up his chakra causing Sasuke to look up as he watched the older man pat Naruto on the back.
"Now I would appreciate if you also kept this whole Uchiha mansion thing under too, considering villagers aren't allowed on this side of town unless accompanied by a shinobi anyways." Tsunade yawned as she pulled her pipe out of her pocket. "And the rest of you need to get back to work."
Iruka watched as she disappeared in front of him. He had ran into her when he went to the mission report room and she had told him to follow her. She really did know what was going on everywhere in the village...........almost as good a Hokage as............Iruka shook his head, he shouldn't compare his leaders but just follow them.
"Crap well I got to go." Genma sighed as he vanished being followed quickly by several of the other chunins and jonins on duty.
"You three go to the bridge now, I will be there in a second." Kakashi turned to his students who were beyond confused now.
What had happened to their Naruto-bro? Why didn't he tell them to begin with? Did he change while he was gone? Was he really blind? He couldn't see them anymore?
"Come on Kono-kun." Moegi grabbed Konohamaru's hand and pulled him away from the sight with Udon.
Naruto sighed as the colors began to shrink and slowly come to a stop to reveal only some people were still there.
"Naruto why didn't you tell us?" Kiba asked as he scratched his head; he certainly never would have tackled the boy yesterday if he knew he was blind.
"Naruto why did you keep this from us? Aren't we your friends? This is a big deal!" Ino spat out putting her hands on her hips.
"Shut up Ino." Shikamaru growled causing Ino to look at him surprised, he had never done that before.
"Fine, I don't ever want to see your face again!" Ino yelled at her boyfriend as she disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Naruto..............you might want to answer their questions." Jiraiya jumped down off the tree to leave the blonde to think for himself.
"Na-naruto if........if you need any-any help Kiba and I are here for you." Hinata looked up at the blonde she had once held a crush on, he was blind?
Naruto furrowed his eyebrows as he held onto the tree branch. Every one was either mad at him or pitying him, which were two things he never wanted. Why did everyone feel like he could never take care of himself?
Why did everyone try to treat him lower than themselves?
Sure he was blind but he was almost self reliant most of the time. All he needed was a little more time to adjust to their voices and colors................why is it that he is the one that always needs a little more time. He is the one that makes it more difficult for everyone else.
Sasuke looked up as everyone kept asking questions. He saw the expression over Naruto's face as the blonde hit the tree he was on and vanished as the top of the tree fell to the ground causing everyone to jump over towards the road.
"What the heck was that about?" Lee asked as he tried to think about all the information he had just received.
"Naruto................" Hinata sighed as she looked over to the tree.
"Let him think." Kakashi finally spoke up placing a hand on Sakura's shoulder as he nodded and began to walk to the bridge. He was going to get asked a lot of questions by his new students.
Sasuke glared at everyone as they began to talk again and ask more questions over Naruto. Stupid idiots, they upset the blonde so he left why couldn't they see that?
Sakura looked over to see Sasuke growl and then vanish. She sighed inwardly as she held her hands up to her face. Some way and some how she felt that all of this was her fault and she wanted to make it up to the blonde boy.
"Um..........I would suggest that all of you think about this by yourselves and if you have any questions to go to Naruto by yourselves.................he and Sasuke will be staying at my place until the mansion is fixed." Iruka finally spoke up as everyone became quiet and sighed.
This was just such big news. Naruto............the one guy that seemed to change the entire village and never realize it.............he was blind?
Iruka patted Sakura on the back before leaving to go to the school. He still had some work to do before the students came back the next day.
"I shall see you later Lee." Gai smiled before leaving the teens by themselves.
"Well first thing first, Shikamaru, you need to talk to Ino." Choji glared over at his friend who sighed, everything just had to be so troublesome didn't it.
"Guys I think that I will plan a lunch with Naruto tomorrow to make up for this.........." Sakura looked at all of them, "Tell me if you want to come later today okay?" She smiled as they nodded.
"Maybe if we try and act like old times he will tell us on his own."
--
Naruto dumped his bag out on the moss of a tree he was sitting on. He needed to find the bandages but he didn't have time to label his items with chakra yet.
His hands were cut and splintered from the tree and even though the Kyuubi had already started healing his wounds he didn't want to get the blood everywhere.
"Crap..........crap............crap." Naruto began to go through all the things after he pulled his old cloths to the side.
Then a red form appeared before him and bent down in front of him as Naruto just watched it go through his junk.
"Looking for this?" Sasuke picked up the bandages as he looked over Naruto's hands. Dobe should wear gloves.
"Thanks Sasuke." Naruto smiled until Sasuke grabbed his hands and began to wrap them. "Hey I can do that myself you know." Naruto furrowed his eyebrows as he watched the red figure wrap his hands.
"O shitteimasu..........(2)" Sasuke finished wrapping the blonde's hands when he noticed a small blush on Naruto's cheeks.
Why was Sasuke being so nice? He didn't deserve this, he had been such a jerk to the rest of his friends. Why was Sasuke still being friendly to him? Naruto just didn't get it.
"Are you okay?" Sasuke leaned over at pressed his hand against Naruto's forehead causing the blonde to fall backwards trying to get away.
"Hai! I am okay!" Naruto jumped up and began to put everything back into his bag and pull it over his shoulder. "I-I just wanted to get away for a little while."
Sasuke frowned as he looked over Naruto, he shouldn't be worrying over the blonde and instead training for the jonin exams but something was bothering him and he could point it out yet. What was it?
"Sasuke..............arigato(3)." Naruto sighed as he jumped off of the tree branch and onto the ground.
Sasuke watched the blonde walk away. Did Naruto just thank him? For what? Sasuke clenched his fist as he turned around.
"I don't deserve your thanks." Sasuke looked down at the tree as something caught his eye.
--
"Thank you for coming Naruto." Tsunade smiled as she looked over the blonde. They hadn't really talked since he returned and he had grown into a fine man.
"So? Going to start asking questions?" Naruto sat down on the couch beside Jiraiya as Tsunade bit her lip.
He still didn't have any respect. Well that is what she gets for sending him with Jiraiya.
"How have you been Naruto?" Tsunade sat down in her chair across from them.
"Guess." Naruto sighed until Jiraiya elbowed him in the side. "Ouch."
"Mind your elders brat." Jiraiya elbowed the blonde once more for effort.
"I get back, go to a party and go ballistic, the house falls, I am now sharing a room with Sasuke in Iruka's apartment and that was the first night since I have been back." Naruto scratched the back of his head before sighing. "And now everyone is mad at me because I didn't tell them that I was blind."
"Well I must say I am impressed, you don't even act blind." Tsunade watched the blonde's movements closely. And it was true he almost carried the same exact presence from a year ago............almost.
"Hn." Naruto nodded as he faced the window. What color was the sky today?
"Jiraiya told me most of the things that you to did while you were gone." Tsunade woke the blonde from his thought. "Would you care to tell me also?"
"Well Jiraiya already told you so..........."
"Yes but I would like to here you tell me also." Tsunade frowned as she watched Naruto sigh. When did he start acting so tired? When did he stop smiling all of the time?
"We first went to the Kumogakure. The Hidden Cloud Village.............."
-- Flash back
"Why did we come all the way over here?" Naruto from the year before wearing his orange jumpsuit held on to Jiraiya's hand.
"You are going to train outside of the village." The older man with spiky white hair informed the blonde boy.
"When do I get to go back to Konoha?" Naruto rubbed his forehead with a lack of a hitai-ate leaf headband.
"Whenever you are done."
--
"We stayed there until I got used to the fact that.............I couldn't see anymore." Naruto sighed as he tried to think of it. "After that I tried to make up a lot of techniques to help me move around on my own but I couldn't think of anything before we left and went to a small village near Iwagakure; Village Hidden in the Stones."
--
"Hey kid I am going to go into the town for a few minutes." Jiraiya waited until Naruto nodded as the blonde continued training with what he could use.
--
"We became friends with the villagers until we were run out after most of the women saw Mr. Pervert here looking into the girl's bath." Naruto glared over toward Jiraiya.
"Those glasses really help." Jiraiya mumbled as a chill went down his back.
--
Jiraiya comes running into the camp and quickly packs up before grabbing Naruto and running away from a mob of angry women.
"Pervert Sennin I hate you." Naruto mumbled as he crossed his arms in his sensei's grasp.
--
"Well we finally stopped in a really small village and we easily became friends with them. I decided to start working because we were running out of money and all this teme was doing was perverted. So some people had me sort of 'listen to' the nursery. This whole time we had been trying to develop my senses which actually helped a little. I could hear, smell, taste, and touch everything around me."
"Did they know you were blind?" Tsunade asked as she watched Jiraiya begin to fumble with something in his bag.
"Yeah, but they were really impressed with my senses that they said I didn't need sight. It was really nice. So I 'listened' to the nursery and every time a baby would cry I would go get one of the village mothers."
"What were they doing that you had to watch their children?" Tsunade was really confused, she wouldn't let a blind kid watch her kid............if she had one.
"The village was new which is why it was so small. Well it was also in war with a neighboring village because of a clan rivalry or something." Jiraiya decided to add his two cents. "With the men mainly gone most of the time it was the women that ran the town, so a babysitter was something that they really needed."
"You like the fact there wasn't a lot of men didn't you?" Tsunade glared over at the older man who laughed and scratched the back of his head.
"Okay well one day the men came back and the villages had made a treaty so it was peaceful. Jiraiya and I went to go train at this field we had passed when we had gone to the village."
--
"Jiraiya-san! Jiraiya-san!" Jiraiya turned around to see one of the female villagers. "The village! The village!"
--
"It was attacked by some rogue nins and everything was destroyed. The only survivors were a few kids." Naruto's face went really cold. "For once I was glad that I couldn't see all of the destruction."
"What about the woman that got you two?" Tsunade was reminded of one thing; all rogue nins should die.
"She died, she had a large wound across her back." Jiraiya pulled out a pipe as he began to smoke it.
"So then what did you do?"
"We took the surviving kids to their newly allied village. They were quickly taken care of and adopted by a lot of the women who couldn't have any children but it was only a week later when I had gotten really good with walking anywhere by myself, the village was attacked and destroyed."
"That was when you used the Kyuubi." Tsunade watched as the blonde's arms began to shake.
"Hai. I heard one of the girls scream, she was the oldest survivor of the last village and she was only eleven. I don't really remember much after that except that I killed the nins and that while I was using the Kyuubi's chakra at such a high level................I could see everything around me. Then next day we had a large funeral for the girl and the rest of the villagers that died."
"Naruto I am sorry you had to go through that." Tsunade rubbed her temples. Why was it that nothing but pain seemed to follow this child's life? Why couldn't he ever find happiness?
"The worst part of everything was battling the Kyuubi to turn back to normal. After that I began to see colors all of the time; which turned out to be everyone's chakra."
"After that we trained nonstop until he could fight me like he used to." Jiraiya took a puff of his pipe as Naruto nodded.
"After the incident I realized that if I could see other people's chakra I could probably see mine so then I tried out what I have been doing since. Using my chakra to see."
"But you also seem to not be able to have too many people around you." Tsunade watched the blonde flinch.
"Yeah but Jiraiya, explained that last night right? I heard him at the party." Jiraiya rose his eyebrow and then nodded.
"So you really do hear everything happening around the village all at once?" Tsunade was in awe. Once again Naruto learned something great for himself, but it came with too many side effects.
"Is there anything else I should know?"
"Is there anything else you want to know?" Naruto smirked over at Tsunade causing the woman to glare at him.
"Yeah, how is it a little punk like you can grow up without showing respect?" Tsunade put her pipe in her mouth.
"Well look at what I have to respect!" Naruto laughed before being bopped on the head by both Tsunade and Jiraiya.
"That's enough brat. Go back to where ever you are staying." Jiraiya mumbled as he got up.
"That reminds me. Try not to trash Iruka's house." Tsunade watched Naruto pout over at her.
"It wasn't me! It was Lee and Neji!" Naruto frowned before getting up with a smile. "I guess I can go now? I still haven't had lunch!"
--
"Is that you Naruto?" The ramen chef at Ichiraku beamed over at his old best customer.
"Hey! I am back!" Naruto chirped as he sat down at a stool and leaned against the counter.
"We haven't seen you in ages!" The old man shouted waving to the assistant chef to make a bowel.
"I have been out in other villages." Naruto smiled, he liked talking to people who weren't ninjas. People who couldn't tell that there was something different.
"You really changed. You look a lot older...............but did you realize you don't have any shoes on?" The older man whispered into Naruto's ear causing the blonde to blush. He had totally forgotten about Sasuke taking his sandals! Walking barefoot was just so nice.
"Heh. Yeah I forgot." Naruto smiled rubbing the back of his head.
"Well here you go have a bowl on the house." The ramen chef smiled before walking away. Naruto was a good kid no matter what had happened to him before he was born.
"Arigato." Naruto grinned before splitting the chopsticks (4).
"Naruto-niisan." Naruto turned his head to see a small light dark form, dark orange form, and a dark blue form. Konohamaru and company.............the three people that were probably worse facing than the great Hokage herself when it came to honest interrogations for the blonde boy.
How was he going to get through this?
--
-niisan = affectionate term added to the end of one's name; like saying older brother. O shitteimasu = I know... Arigato = thank you Splitting chopsticks = in Japan most chopsticks come stuck together.

chapter five: Stupid Ino-pig!

"Are you going to walk around barefoot now?" Sasuke sighed as he walked with Naruto towards his house
"Yeah it feels nice! I don't like shoes or sandals too much..............being barefoot rocks!" Naruto cheered on as they walked.
"Well you might want to roll those pants up more." Sasuke looked down at the bottom of Naruto's pants, they were slowly getting covered with mud.
"Ma..........whatever." Naruto stopped as they heard some commotion ahead of them....................in Sasuke's now lot.
"What the?" Sasuke walked up to notice most of the shinobi walking around in his yard talking as some of them cooked some barbecue for lunch.
"What do you think happened here?" One of the ninja's picked up a wooden block.
"Some people say it was a foreign assassin but we don't have any proof." Another man said from across the yard.
"What are you detectives? Shikamaru said there was a party here last night and two people started to spar in the house causing it to fall." Asuma sighed spitting his cigarette onto the floor.
"So tiresome." Shikamaru rolled his eyes as he helped people separate the usable and not usable wood. He told everyone earlier but it seemed like people just ignored him sometimes................so tiresome.
"Has he seen this yet?" Kurenai looked over to see Sasuke standing with someone across the street. "Never mind."
Everyone looked up to see Sasuke standing with a glare on his face as he looked at his destroyed house...............he had lived there since he was born.
"Sasuke-san! Where have you been?" One of the older women jonins yelled over at the boy.
"Hey who is that?" Asuma lit up a new cigarette as he stared over at the blonde boy. "He looks a lot like................"
"Naruto! We have been searching for you!" Kiba, Ino, and Hinata ran up to the blonde who smiled at them.
"See Akamaru you were wrong! He can see us!" Kiba glared over at his dog companion who growled back at him. Not noticing the shorter blonde tense up.
"What happened last night?" Ino glared over at the blond boy who just smiled nervously.
"Na-naruto-kun how are you feeling?" Naruto watched the small white form begin to twiddle its fingers.
"I am just fine Hinata, how about yourself?" Naruto asked back causing the Hyuga girl to turn a shade of deep crimson.
"Hey answer my questions will ya?" Ino glowered as the tan boy who sighed.
"Oh my goodness! What happened?" Everyone turned to see Lee standing there in awe of the mess.
"You are not serious." Sasuke, Ino, and Shikamaru spat out at the same time.
"Lee forgot everything." Sakura walked up with a tired expression on her face.
"Baka." Neji glared over at Lee and then continued to help, he had been there since this morning helping.
"And now Neji is glaring at me. Why cant I remember last night? It is so fuzzy!" Lee shook his head before glaring up at Kiba. "You did this to me! I know it!"
"Um......actually it was them." Kiba pointed to a large square shaped bush.
"Ack! I knew we should have worked harder on this disguise!" Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon jumped out from under the bush.
"Told you this wouldn't work!" Moegi began to hit Konohamaru on the head.
"You three genins!" Lee ran over to them causing them to stop and stare at him.
"He really does look like Gai." They all stared at Lee's face.
"Hey what is this?" Sasuke tried to ignore the now four bickering ninjas as he looked up.
Genma was holding up several thick strangely decorated robes. They had a steak going through all of them.
"Crap." Sasuke shook his head and looked over at Naruto. "I hope you didn't like those robes too much cause there is now a large piece of wood going through them."
"Those are mine sorry!" Naruto sighed as he faced Sasuke. "Oh well, I guess I could visit that town again some time and see if they can fix those."
"Naruto are you going to explain what is wrong with you or not? There is something different and I want to know." Ino scowled as Sasuke glared at her. Stupid loud girl.
"Ino you are so bothersome." Shikamaru sighed as he pulled his girlfriend's arm to take her away from the nervously laughing blonde.
"Fine if he wont tell me." Ino quickly did a few hand seals as her body went limp.
"Ino!" Shikamaru shook her body.
"Hm?................now to open his eyes............."
Sasuke looked over at Naruto who had taken his sunglasses off and opened his eyes to look at everyone. He was standing with his hands on his hips like................a girl?
"Naruto?" Sasuke watched as the blonde's expression became horrified.
"Oh my gawd! Naruto is blind!" Naruto jumped up tripping over a piece of wood as everyone looked at him in shock.
"Naruto-bro?" Konohamaru and Lee looked up to see the blond boy try to get up.
"What is with all of the colors? I cant see anything!" Naruto moved his hands in front of him.
"Ino return to your body now!" Shikamaru yelled causing everyone to jump. Shikamaru never yelled, and even more so never at Ino.
"I can't see where my body is!" Naruto screamed before Choji lifted the blonde up and faced him toward her boy in Shikamaru's arms.
"Okay Ino......" Choji sighed as Naruto did a few hand seals.
"Thanks Choji!" The boy yelled before he shook his head.
"What the?" Naruto closed his eyes and tried to find his sunglasses.
"Ino don't you ever do that again!" Shikamaru scolded the long-haired girl. "That was beyond horrible!"
"Na-naruto's blind?" Hinata stammered as she joined everyone else in watching the blonde boy put his sunglasses back on.
"Naruto-niisan? Blind?" Moegi turned around and looked at a confused Konohamaru and Udon. "But-but............"
"Uh..............surprise?" Naruto rubbed the back of his head as everyone stared at him in shock.
"Naruto?" Kiba looked over at his friend.
"When did that happen?" Neji finally asked what had been on his mind since the party.
Everyone began to ask questions as they all walked up to Naruto causing him to back up until he was surrounded.
Naruto leaned against the tree behind him sending chakra to cover it as he looked at all of the branched and vanished quickly appearing above the crowd and on the largest yet lowest branch.
Sasuke appeared beside the tree and leaned up against it as Jiraiya appeared also and smirked up at Naruto.
"Fine mess brat, you should just be honest with everyone." Jiraiya sighed leaning on the other side of the tree as everyone kept asking questions.
"Be honest huh? I will be honest about everything the day you confess your love to........." Jiraiya's hand quickly covered Naruto's smiling mouth as everyone looked at each other confused.
"But if you are blind how could you talk to everyone knowing who they are?" Kiba scratched his head trying to think of a way Naruto could do that.
"Um.........long story and sometimes Sasuke helped." Naruto grinned trying to cover the fact that the colors seemed to start growing in his vision.
"When did it happen Naruto? Was it while you were gone?" Choji asked as he took out a bag of chips.
"It happened right before I left." Naruto tightened his grip on the tree branch. The colors weren't mixing yet but they were growing and too close together.
"EVERYONE CALM DOWN DANG IT!" Everyone turned to see Tsunade standing on top of what was left of the pile of wood with Iruka right beside her panting like crazy.
"Hokage-sama!" Everyone did a small bow toward their leader before looking back up at Naruto.
"Well I am glad to find most of you here at the same time, it will save me trouble." Tsunade smirked when she noticed everyone looked at her confused.
Jiraiya looked over to the shaking blonde. "Naruto........." He whispered until he noticed the blonde's grip tightened on the bark cracking it.
"All of you are to keep this a secret among yourselves and never speak on it while you are around villagers they might..........." Tsunade looked around, there were still many people who didn't know about the Kyuubi; the villagers might take advantage of this weakness in Naruto and attack when he is alone. "use it to their advantage."
Tsunade sighed as most of the younger ninjas gave her a confused look when all of the ones that knew, nodded.
"Jiraiya are you still here?" Naruto whispered as the colors seemed to start moving slowly.
"Hai." Jiraiya flared up his chakra causing Sasuke to look up as he watched the older man pat Naruto on the back.
"Now I would appreciate if you also kept this whole Uchiha mansion thing under too, considering villagers aren't allowed on this side of town unless accompanied by a shinobi anyways." Tsunade yawned as she pulled her pipe out of her pocket. "And the rest of you need to get back to work."
Iruka watched as she disappeared in front of him. He had ran into her when he went to the mission report room and she had told him to follow her. She really did know what was going on everywhere in the village...........almost as good a Hokage as............Iruka shook his head, he shouldn't compare his leaders but just follow them.
"Crap well I got to go." Genma sighed as he vanished being followed quickly by several of the other chunins and jonins on duty.
"You three go to the bridge now, I will be there in a second." Kakashi turned to his students who were beyond confused now.
What had happened to their Naruto-bro? Why didn't he tell them to begin with? Did he change while he was gone? Was he really blind? He couldn't see them anymore?
"Come on Kono-kun." Moegi grabbed Konohamaru's hand and pulled him away from the sight with Udon.
Naruto sighed as the colors began to shrink and slowly come to a stop to reveal only some people were still there.
"Naruto why didn't you tell us?" Kiba asked as he scratched his head; he certainly never would have tackled the boy yesterday if he knew he was blind.
"Naruto why did you keep this from us? Aren't we your friends? This is a big deal!" Ino spat out putting her hands on her hips.
"Shut up Ino." Shikamaru growled causing Ino to look at him surprised, he had never done that before.
"Fine, I don't ever want to see your face again!" Ino yelled at her boyfriend as she disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Naruto..............you might want to answer their questions." Jiraiya jumped down off the tree to leave the blonde to think for himself.
"Na-naruto if........if you need any-any help Kiba and I are here for you." Hinata looked up at the blonde she had once held a crush on, he was blind?
Naruto furrowed his eyebrows as he held onto the tree branch. Every one was either mad at him or pitying him, which were two things he never wanted. Why did everyone feel like he could never take care of himself?
Why did everyone try to treat him lower than themselves?
Sure he was blind but he was almost self reliant most of the time. All he needed was a little more time to adjust to their voices and colors................why is it that he is the one that always needs a little more time. He is the one that makes it more difficult for everyone else.
Sasuke looked up as everyone kept asking questions. He saw the expression over Naruto's face as the blonde hit the tree he was on and vanished as the top of the tree fell to the ground causing everyone to jump over towards the road.
"What the heck was that about?" Lee asked as he tried to think about all the information he had just received.
"Naruto................" Hinata sighed as she looked over to the tree.
"Let him think." Kakashi finally spoke up placing a hand on Sakura's shoulder as he nodded and began to walk to the bridge. He was going to get asked a lot of questions by his new students.
Sasuke glared at everyone as they began to talk again and ask more questions over Naruto. Stupid idiots, they upset the blonde so he left why couldn't they see that?
Sakura looked over to see Sasuke growl and then vanish. She sighed inwardly as she held her hands up to her face. Some way and some how she felt that all of this was her fault and she wanted to make it up to the blonde boy.
"Um..........I would suggest that all of you think about this by yourselves and if you have any questions to go to Naruto by yourselves.................he and Sasuke will be staying at my place until the mansion is fixed." Iruka finally spoke up as everyone became quiet and sighed.
This was just such big news. Naruto............the one guy that seemed to change the entire village and never realize it.............he was blind?
Iruka patted Sakura on the back before leaving to go to the school. He still had some work to do before the students came back the next day.
"I shall see you later Lee." Gai smiled before leaving the teens by themselves.
"Well first thing first, Shikamaru, you need to talk to Ino." Choji glared over at his friend who sighed, everything just had to be so troublesome didn't it.
"Guys I think that I will plan a lunch with Naruto tomorrow to make up for this.........." Sakura looked at all of them, "Tell me if you want to come later today okay?" She smiled as they nodded.
"Maybe if we try and act like old times he will tell us on his own."
--
Naruto dumped his bag out on the moss of a tree he was sitting on. He needed to find the bandages but he didn't have time to label his items with chakra yet.
His hands were cut and splintered from the tree and even though the Kyuubi had already started healing his wounds he didn't want to get the blood everywhere.
"Crap..........crap............crap." Naruto began to go through all the things after he pulled his old cloths to the side.
Then a red form appeared before him and bent down in front of him as Naruto just watched it go through his junk.
"Looking for this?" Sasuke picked up the bandages as he looked over Naruto's hands. Dobe should wear gloves.
"Thanks Sasuke." Naruto smiled until Sasuke grabbed his hands and began to wrap them. "Hey I can do that myself you know." Naruto furrowed his eyebrows as he watched the red figure wrap his hands.
"O shitteimasu..........(2)" Sasuke finished wrapping the blonde's hands when he noticed a small blush on Naruto's cheeks.
Why was Sasuke being so nice? He didn't deserve this, he had been such a jerk to the rest of his friends. Why was Sasuke still being friendly to him? Naruto just didn't get it.
"Are you okay?" Sasuke leaned over at pressed his hand against Naruto's forehead causing the blonde to fall backwards trying to get away.
"Hai! I am okay!" Naruto jumped up and began to put everything back into his bag and pull it over his shoulder. "I-I just wanted to get away for a little while."
Sasuke frowned as he looked over Naruto, he shouldn't be worrying over the blonde and instead training for the jonin exams but something was bothering him and he could point it out yet. What was it?
"Sasuke..............arigato(3)." Naruto sighed as he jumped off of the tree branch and onto the ground.
Sasuke watched the blonde walk away. Did Naruto just thank him? For what? Sasuke clenched his fist as he turned around.
"I don't deserve your thanks." Sasuke looked down at the tree as something caught his eye.
--
"Thank you for coming Naruto." Tsunade smiled as she looked over the blonde. They hadn't really talked since he returned and he had grown into a fine man.
"So? Going to start asking questions?" Naruto sat down on the couch beside Jiraiya as Tsunade bit her lip.
He still didn't have any respect. Well that is what she gets for sending him with Jiraiya.
"How have you been Naruto?" Tsunade sat down in her chair across from them.
"Guess." Naruto sighed until Jiraiya elbowed him in the side. "Ouch."
"Mind your elders brat." Jiraiya elbowed the blonde once more for effort.
"I get back, go to a party and go ballistic, the house falls, I am now sharing a room with Sasuke in Iruka's apartment and that was the first night since I have been back." Naruto scratched the back of his head before sighing. "And now everyone is mad at me because I didn't tell them that I was blind."
"Well I must say I am impressed, you don't even act blind." Tsunade watched the blonde's movements closely. And it was true he almost carried the same exact presence from a year ago............almost.
"Hn." Naruto nodded as he faced the window. What color was the sky today?
"Jiraiya told me most of the things that you to did while you were gone." Tsunade woke the blonde from his thought. "Would you care to tell me also?"
"Well Jiraiya already told you so..........."
"Yes but I would like to here you tell me also." Tsunade frowned as she watched Naruto sigh. When did he start acting so tired? When did he stop smiling all of the time?
"We first went to the Kumogakure. The Hidden Cloud Village.............."
-- Flash back
"Why did we come all the way over here?" Naruto from the year before wearing his orange jumpsuit held on to Jiraiya's hand.
"You are going to train outside of the village." The older man with spiky white hair informed the blonde boy.
"When do I get to go back to Konoha?" Naruto rubbed his forehead with a lack of a hitai-ate leaf headband.
"Whenever you are done."
--
"We stayed there until I got used to the fact that.............I couldn't see anymore." Naruto sighed as he tried to think of it. "After that I tried to make up a lot of techniques to help me move around on my own but I couldn't think of anything before we left and went to a small village near Iwagakure; Village Hidden in the Stones."
--
"Hey kid I am going to go into the town for a few minutes." Jiraiya waited until Naruto nodded as the blonde continued training with what he could use.
--
"We became friends with the villagers until we were run out after most of the women saw Mr. Pervert here looking into the girl's bath." Naruto glared over toward Jiraiya.
"Those glasses really help." Jiraiya mumbled as a chill went down his back.
--
Jiraiya comes running into the camp and quickly packs up before grabbing Naruto and running away from a mob of angry women.
"Pervert Sennin I hate you." Naruto mumbled as he crossed his arms in his sensei's grasp.
--
"Well we finally stopped in a really small village and we easily became friends with them. I decided to start working because we were running out of money and all this teme was doing was perverted. So some people had me sort of 'listen to' the nursery. This whole time we had been trying to develop my senses which actually helped a little. I could hear, smell, taste, and touch everything around me."
"Did they know you were blind?" Tsunade asked as she watched Jiraiya begin to fumble with something in his bag.
"Yeah, but they were really impressed with my senses that they said I didn't need sight. It was really nice. So I 'listened' to the nursery and every time a baby would cry I would go get one of the village mothers."
"What were they doing that you had to watch their children?" Tsunade was really confused, she wouldn't let a blind kid watch her kid............if she had one.
"The village was new which is why it was so small. Well it was also in war with a neighboring village because of a clan rivalry or something." Jiraiya decided to add his two cents. "With the men mainly gone most of the time it was the women that ran the town, so a babysitter was something that they really needed."
"You like the fact there wasn't a lot of men didn't you?" Tsunade glared over at the older man who laughed and scratched the back of his head.
"Okay well one day the men came back and the villages had made a treaty so it was peaceful. Jiraiya and I went to go train at this field we had passed when we had gone to the village."
--
"Jiraiya-san! Jiraiya-san!" Jiraiya turned around to see one of the female villagers. "The village! The village!"
--
"It was attacked by some rogue nins and everything was destroyed. The only survivors were a few kids." Naruto's face went really cold. "For once I was glad that I couldn't see all of the destruction."
"What about the woman that got you two?" Tsunade was reminded of one thing; all rogue nins should die.
"She died, she had a large wound across her back." Jiraiya pulled out a pipe as he began to smoke it.
"So then what did you do?"
"We took the surviving kids to their newly allied village. They were quickly taken care of and adopted by a lot of the women who couldn't have any children but it was only a week later when I had gotten really good with walking anywhere by myself, the village was attacked and destroyed."
"That was when you used the Kyuubi." Tsunade watched as the blonde's arms began to shake.
"Hai. I heard one of the girls scream, she was the oldest survivor of the last village and she was only eleven. I don't really remember much after that except that I killed the nins and that while I was using the Kyuubi's chakra at such a high level................I could see everything around me. Then next day we had a large funeral for the girl and the rest of the villagers that died."
"Naruto I am sorry you had to go through that." Tsunade rubbed her temples. Why was it that nothing but pain seemed to follow this child's life? Why couldn't he ever find happiness?
"The worst part of everything was battling the Kyuubi to turn back to normal. After that I began to see colors all of the time; which turned out to be everyone's chakra."
"After that we trained nonstop until he could fight me like he used to." Jiraiya took a puff of his pipe as Naruto nodded.
"After the incident I realized that if I could see other people's chakra I could probably see mine so then I tried out what I have been doing since. Using my chakra to see."
"But you also seem to not be able to have too many people around you." Tsunade watched the blonde flinch.
"Yeah but Jiraiya, explained that last night right? I heard him at the party." Jiraiya rose his eyebrow and then nodded.
"So you really do hear everything happening around the village all at once?" Tsunade was in awe. Once again Naruto learned something great for himself, but it came with too many side effects.
"Is there anything else I should know?"
"Is there anything else you want to know?" Naruto smirked over at Tsunade causing the woman to glare at him.
"Yeah, how is it a little punk like you can grow up without showing respect?" Tsunade put her pipe in her mouth.
"Well look at what I have to respect!" Naruto laughed before being bopped on the head by both Tsunade and Jiraiya.
"That's enough brat. Go back to where ever you are staying." Jiraiya mumbled as he got up.
"That reminds me. Try not to trash Iruka's house." Tsunade watched Naruto pout over at her.
"It wasn't me! It was Lee and Neji!" Naruto frowned before getting up with a smile. "I guess I can go now? I still haven't had lunch!"
--
"Is that you Naruto?" The ramen chef at Ichiraku beamed over at his old best customer.
"Hey! I am back!" Naruto chirped as he sat down at a stool and leaned against the counter.
"We haven't seen you in ages!" The old man shouted waving to the assistant chef to make a bowel.
"I have been out in other villages." Naruto smiled, he liked talking to people who weren't ninjas. People who couldn't tell that there was something different.
"You really changed. You look a lot older...............but did you realize you don't have any shoes on?" The older man whispered into Naruto's ear causing the blonde to blush. He had totally forgotten about Sasuke taking his sandals! Walking barefoot was just so nice.
"Heh. Yeah I forgot." Naruto smiled rubbing the back of his head.
"Well here you go have a bowl on the house." The ramen chef smiled before walking away. Naruto was a good kid no matter what had happened to him before he was born.
"Arigato." Naruto grinned before splitting the chopsticks (4).
"Naruto-niisan." Naruto turned his head to see a small light dark form, dark orange form, and a dark blue form. Konohamaru and company.............the three people that were probably worse facing than the great Hokage herself when it came to honest interrogations for the blonde boy.
How was he going to get through this?
--
-niisan = affectionate term added to the end of one's name; like saying older brother. O shitteimasu = I know... Arigato = thank you Splitting chopsticks = in Japan most chopsticks come stuck together.
